Welcome to Belhaven and Spott Parish Church
Vacancy - Announcement of Nominee and Intimation of Date of Preaching
At a meeting held at Belhaven on Sunday 22 June, the Nominating Committee chose the person who they wish to propose to this congregation of Belhaven and Spott in deferred union with Dunglass to be our new minister. The name of the person proposed is Alastair Stark, currently completing his probation training at Wellesley Parish Church in Methil, Fife.
Arrangements have been made for Alastair to conduct public worship in Belhaven Church on Sunday 27 July at 11:30 a.m. Immediately after that service, there will be a vote on whether or not Alastair should be appointed as the new minister of Belhaven and Spott in deferred union with Dunglass. Anyone whose name appears on the Electoral Registers of Belhaven and Spott or Dunglass Parish Church shall be entitled to vote. No-one else shall be entitled to vote.
--Brian C. Hilsley, Interim Moderator
Welcome to our website, which we hope will give you a flavour of the sorts of things we get up to – and the kind of people we are – here at Belhaven and Spott Parish Church. We are a Church of Scotland congregation, and as of 1 August 2023, what had previously been the separate congregations of Belhaven and Spott have now come together as one united church.
SPECIAL MAY SERVICE SCHEDULE CHANGES: To facilitate a combined Christian Aid Service at Belhaven on Sunday 18 May, Breakfast Church at Belhaven this month will be taking place on 11 May at 10 a.m. (and not on 18 May); also, there *will* be a service at Spott on 11 May at 10 a.m., and there *will not* be a service at Spott on 18 May.
NORMAL SUNDAY SERVICE SCHEDULE: We would love for you to visit us if you are in the area – our normal weekly worship services are on Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. at Spott, and at 11:30 a.m. at Belhaven, although normally there are no services at Spott on the 2nd Sunday of each month, and there are no services at Belhaven on the 5th Sunday of the month (in those months which have a 5th Sunday).
Whether you come along once or decide to join us regularly for worship, we hope you will find that we live up to our Mission Statement: Belhaven and Spott Parish Church is an inclusive, welcoming family. We seek through the love of God to help all people grow in faith and service, worshiping God and living out the Gospel as part of the community. Join us as we explore our relationship with God, and seek to understand our role as stewards of the world around us.
